Chapter 37: Walpurgis Night (2)
“I know that Your Highness came here on vacation to comfort your ailing body and soul, but please do so in moderation.”
“But look. I made a lot of money…….”
“That is not something to boast about.”
Lapis glared at me. I unintentionally stood at attention.
“How could a Demon Lord hang around a bunch of gamblers and take their money? This will only be troublesome for Your Highness’ reputation. In no way could this possibly be beneficial.”
I didn’t have an excuse. Lapis didn’t criticize me under the context that gambling itself was bad, but she instead cautioned me about the negative influence it will have on my name. She’s right.
“Let us pretend that Sir Dantalian ends up in a bad situation in the future. At that time, people will criticize Your Highness by saying that you only fell to such a state because you got addicted to gambling. The same thing will happen even if you’re successful. People will speak ill of you by saying that you only got a little lucky while gambling.”
“Uugh.”
She was completely right.
